How did you come to that conclusion? The writer offers no conclusive statement, but he did say that he'd take a R32 over the S3.
I think this is what I expected of the S3. It didn't sound right having a 2.0 I4 turbocharged to that level when I first heard of it, so I wasn't expecting a glorious review. Nevertheless, this is a 'pocket rocket' - still, it's tough competition out there and there are many more rockets I'd rather take.
